This past weekend marked the third event of the 2015 Red Bull Global RallyCross event with the Volkswagen Rallycross DC and for the first time this season, Scott Speed and his VW failed to take the win as Ford Fiesta racers claimed each of the top four spots after both VW teams ran into engine problems.

SRT Viper GTSR to Wear Classic Dodge Viper Look at Watkins Glen

It was announced recently that the SRT Viper would become the Dodge Viper in the near future as the Chrysler Group discontinues to standalone SRT brand and to celebrate the return to Dodge, the two SRT Viper GTS-R race cars in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship will wear the livery of the unstoppable Team Oreca Dodge Vipers of the 1990s and early 2000s.
2015 Corvette Z06 LT4 Engine

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 LT4 Will Be Built in Kentucky and New York

The supercharged LT4 V8 that will motivate the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 will be most powerful production engine from GM ever and unlike the previous generation super-Vette engines – the new LT4 will be built both at the Bowling Green Corvette plant and at the Tonawanda engine facility in New York.
2015 Ford Mustang

The New 2015 Ford Mustang Will Be the Safest Mustang Ever

The 2015 Ford Mustang will be the first marketing global, the fastest ever and the most efficient ever which is all very impressive, but what we have failed to consider thus far is that the next generation Mustang will also be the safest of the fabled pony cars with extensive safety innovations inside and out.

The 2015 Ford Mustang GT Fastback Offers the Most Bang for the Buck

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT in white

The Challenger's Hellcat Hemi Could Make the SRT Jeep the World's Baddest SUV

Since the supercharger Hellcat Hemi was introduced for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT, we have talked about the likelihood of seeing that monster motor in the Dodge Charger, the Chrysler 300C and the Dodge Viper, but we have failed to consider the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT – which would be the most powerful production SUV in the world.

GM LT Engine Trademarks for the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette Revisited

After learning so much about the current Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette engine lineup over the past year, it seems like a fitting time to look back at an interesting list of engine name trademarks filed last year – revisiting my predictions from early 2013 and looking towards possible future engines.
Dodge Charger Hellcat

Prediction: There Will Be a Dodge Charger Hellcat - but Not with a Manual Transmission

The new Hellcat Hemi will make the 2015 Dodge Challenger one of the most powerful cars sold in America and that supercharged V8 could make the Dodge Charger the most powerful sedan sold in America – and I believe that it will – but not with a manual transmission.
2014 Corvette Stingray

GM Recalls 712 Chevrolet Corvette Stingrays with Competition Seats

The General Motors recall bug has now turned its attention to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, with 712 units fitted with the awesome Competition Seat option being recalled over a concern that the a side impact air bag might not work as expected – but with a collection of very odd and very vague variables.
Chevy Camaro Recall

Why the Chevrolet Camaro Recall isn't Such a Huge Problem for Owners

The news that General Motors is recalling every single current generation Chevrolet Camaro hit yesterday as big news, but that is more because of the long list of ignition-based recalls in the past few months and the media frenzy surrounding those recalls and less because it poses a significant risk to owners – making this a much less critical recall for the owners than the one that pertains to the Chevrolet Cobalt.
Challenger Hellcat Engine

The Challenger's Hellcat Could be the First Viper V8 Engine

Since the Dodge Viper was introduced in the early 90s, it has been powered by a V10 engine because the levels of power offered by that 10 cylinder mill weren’t available in a 50-state street legal V8, but with the introduction of the 600+ horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat – the new blown V8 could prove to be a proper V8 for the Mopar supercar.

2015 Corvette Z06 Based C7.R

2015 Corvette Z06 Based C7.R Finishes 2nd, 4th at LeMans Debut

The new Chevrolet Corvette C7.R race cars made their 24 Hours of LeMans debut this past weekend with the hopes of achieving the success of past generation Corvette race cars and while mechanical gremlins prevented the teams from taking the class win – both C7.R teams finished strong in the grueling 24 hour race.
2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Horsepower is a Game of Chicken with Ford

While the Chrysler Group has announced a long list of information on the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, the company has continued to only offer “at least 600” as the power numbers and I think that this is due to an exciting game of chicken with Ford Motor Company and their new Shelby/SVT Mustang.
Corvette Z06

GM Trademarks Zora - Maybe for a Race-Only Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

GM recently trademarked the word Zora - the first name of the man responsible for the early performance of the Chevrolet Corvette – and I’m lead to wonder if the company might be looking to pay homage to the late engineer with a new special edition package for the C7 Stingray.
